Twelve years ago Smilebit, the Sega team set up with the aim of bringing "joy and smile into the whole world", did just that with the all-action Jet Set Radio.
It was a story of youthful rebellion in a near-future Japan, where gangs of spray-can toting teens roam Tokyo-to on magnetically-driven rollerskates, marking their turf while fending off rivals and dodging a police force intent on crushing street culture.
The game was a unique and exciting creation, blending the 3D platform and extreme sports genres with sumptuous cartoon visuals and an eclectic, hardcore soundtrack.
It dropped jaws in 2000 and now - remixed in widescreen HD with dual analogue controls - it does so all over again, proving it can be fun to watch paint dry.
Giving an opinion on a game is always a hard thing to do. Many look at gameplay, graphics, story, multiplayer, single player, etc. An aspect often overlooked is the game music in these games.
Well, GameTechZero's Richard is here to change that and showcase his favourite video game music.
What is your favourite game music?
What happens when you cross Splatoon's music with Jet Set Radio's? Something that's...pretty dang good, actually.
"Welcome back to another BGU Video Games Club. Each month we will pick a game from the video game from the vault, replay it, and discuss it your for education and enjoyment – this month we discuss criminally ignored Jet Set Radio" - Paul James of BGU
